I wanted to get the correspondent enum value from a string field. Let’s say I have defined enum Fruit.
enum Fruit {apple, banana}
In the JSON payload of an API call, I’m getting string value of the enum. So I want to convert it to the correct enum value. This is how I did in my flutter application.
Fruit getFruitFromString(String fruit) {
fruit = 'Fruit.$fruit';
return Fruit.values.firstWhere((f)=> f.toString() == fruit, orElse: () => null);
}
